(1) Unless otherwise agreed
and subject to subsection (3) of this section, where goods are tendered or delivered
or identified to the contract for sale, the buyer has a right before payment or
acceptance to inspect them at any reasonable place and time and in any reasonable
manner. When the seller is required or authorized to send the goods to the buyer,
the inspection may be after their arrival.

(2) Expenses of inspection must be borne by the buyer but may be recovered
from the seller if the goods do not conform and are rejected.

(3) Unless otherwise agreed and subject to the provisions of this article on
C.I.F. contracts (subsection (3) of section 4-2-321), the buyer is not entitled to
inspect the goods before payment of the price when the contract provides:

(a) For delivery C.O.D. or on other like terms; or

(b) For payment against documents of title, except where such payment is
due only after the goods are to become available for inspection.

(4) A place or method of inspection fixed by the parties is presumed to be
exclusive, but unless otherwise expressly agreed, it does not postpone
identification or shift the place for delivery or for passing the risk of loss. If
compliance becomes impossible, inspection shall be as provided in this section,
unless the place or method fixed was clearly intended as an indispensable
condition failure of which avoids the contract.
